Added 1 new A* page:A while back I posted about the Graf Zeppelin, the largest airship in the world in 1928, and holder of the round-the-world air record (21 days) from 1929 until it was broken by Wiley Post in an airplane in 1931. Well fate would have it that I came across two articles with a total of three nifty photos of the Graf in the space of a few days a few days ago! So if you like old photos of huge zeppelins (and who doesn't, I'd like to know), check out the blog post below this "Adventures of the 19XX" comic (man the one of the little biplanes buzzing around it like gnats is so cool) and this article from the "Old Picture of the Day" blog, of the Graf over the Tower of David in Old Jerusalem in 1931 (sort of spooky seeing as how the Graf was a German aircraft and operated "for its final two years [1935-1937] by the Deutsche Zeppelin Reederei GmbH (DZR), a company established by Hermann Göring in March 1935 to increase Nazi party influence over Zeppelin operations" (Wikipedia)).
That second article link came up on Google+.
